Take the remote and point it at the camera lense of you camera phone or digital camera. If you can see the illumination of the led in the camera lcd display then the remote is ok. If not then the remote is bad or the batteries are dead.
With the orange light being on that means that the battery is not connecting properly or that it needs to be replaced. The first thing that you can try is a little rubbing alcohol on the connections of the battery itself and the connections inside the camera where the battery terminals connect. If that does not solve your issue then you will need to replace the battery
It sounds like your power on button may be stuck, if the ON indicator is always on. That may be the reason your battery was dead yesterday. Try reinstalling your batteries, checking carefully the positive and negative positions, and working your power button several times rapidly to see if it is stuck. If it is still showing a constant ON condition, try the following steps. With the batteries out of the camera, try a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol around the power switch, working the switch rapidly for a few seconds to see if that frees it. Replace the batteries with knownfresh ones and try to power up the camera. That may fix your problem. If not, the camera will probably have to be repaired or replaced.
Send it into Samsung Contact them for a RMA.. they will offer the proper advice.. besides never use Alkaline batteries in digital cameras always use the proper photo batteries.. pay the extra few bucks it is worth it!
Your problem is likely due to weak/worn out batteries or corrosion on the battery contacts inside the camera
which can prevent the full power of the batteries from flowing into the
camera. Try this free fix before you do anything else: remove the batteries and wipe the camera contacts firmly with
a dry cloth (heavy corrosion may require cleaning with a wire brush,
steel wool, or sandpaper). Remove any residue that may have fallen
into the battery compartment during cleaning, then wipe both ends of
the batteries and place them back in the camera. This cleaning clears
the problem about 90% of the time. If it doesn't work for you, chances
are that your batteries need to be replaced because they're just too worn to properly power the camera.
And then, of course, there's the possibility that your camera may have
a problem that requires professional repair.
Check the internal contacts for bent, broken or improper connections. Try inserting and pressing the battery in the camera while keeping the battery door open to see if the camera powers (This may help you determine if the battery is being held in correctly by the battery holder or the battery door.) Cameras using AA type batteries Check that the battery door closes properly and is snapped into place properly. Make sure there are no cracks or any defections on the battery door.
This sounds similar to a problem I had. I brought the camera in under warranty and the repair shop fixed it. They shop text is cryptic.
Problem: Camera light keeps flashing, not charge
Solution: Troubleshoot to intermittent switch block control, replace with new one, test OK.
